Problem is he says" I first learned to drive during the 1970's oil embargo and have been perfecting my hypermiling tenchniques ever since. My car is a 92 Civic CX, which I bought new, and was giving me low 60's to low 50's before I started aero modding it.

I will refire you to: https://ecomodder.com/forum/em-fuel-...p?vehicleid=29

For the gas mileage he is getting.

OK IT SEEMS like he improved it from 15 to 40MPG...so he has done more in the range than I have seen before.

BUT he is using hypermiling tenchniques, so I consider the improvement is the areo HELPS the hypermiling tenchniques by allowing longer coasting.

My problem is a areo, hypermiling tenchniques, a lean burn Engine, and I bet a few other MPG tricks.

So it does not answer my main question: With Aerodynamics alone in a normally driven car with no hypermiling tenchniques or any other MPG Tricks what will you get??

I want to take long road trips and do NOT want to use hypermiling tenchniques, I want to just set cruse control and go.
